What do High School Football Players eat for breakfast?

So, what do high school football players eat for breakfast you ask?
Well, let me tell you...

Servin up some grub

Half of the JV Bountiful High Football team!



There was hash browns, eggs, sausage, cheese, steak and maybe more. It's hard to say...I left for fear of being overrun. Well, not really, they're good boys. Maybe it was fear of what my kitchen was going to look like!

Summer Garden 2009

After reading my sister-in-law Abby's blog about her garden, it inspired me to post about mine.
So here's a peek at what's growing at Casa Kilpack.


Yellow pear tomato's.
These are so yummy, I have to keep my eye on Dallin, he could eat them all day long!

We have 2 red and 2 yellow bell peppers growing this year.

Basil...need I say anymore?

Some wild flowers from a mix that I got.


This is a marigold from Abby's garden. I grew it from some of her seeds.

Ahh...the piece De resistance!
Tomatoes! There is nothing better than home grown tomatoes (or any produce for that matter!)
I am so looking forward to a BLT!

Jalapenos! The next best thing. We like to make poppers with ours.
I have about 20 jalapeno plants this year. I'm going to try making some jalapeno jelly!

Dallin's cabbage plant.
This picture does not do it justice for this cabbage is freaking HUGE!

Yellow squash and zucchini.


Some flowers that are blooming in the backyard.


My raspberries! I've only had one or two so far this year, but boy were they tasty!

Some onions.

And right up there with the tomatoes and penos are cucumbers!
I'm drooling just writing this.
I love my garden!

June Roundup 2009

Well, June is now over, and what a busy month it has been. We've celebrated 2 birthdays, had some Girl Scout activites, had lots of rain with some occasional hail, some beautiful sunsets, Will dragging his butt, and so much more!
Here are some photos to fill you in on the last month.
This is a big post, so be prepared!
You've been warned!!!

We've had some beautiful sunsets!

This is Will...
Will decided that after dinner he needed to show us how a dog drags it's but across the floor.
The pictures don't quit capture exactly just how funny this was!


Dallin with his awesome face painting!

In my last post I mentioned that we had some hail and that the cabbage took it pretty well.
Since last month, the cabbage has doubled in size!

Some of the hail.

We harvested all of our Sugar Snap Peas.
Boy were they tasty!

This was the second bowl of peas!

Camryn at her scout awards.
She earned 6 badges and won the elephant for selling over 500 boxes of cookies.
Gotta love the Girl Scouts!


Some playhouse modifications.
We've added two bubble windows (you can sorta see one is the left corner) and what playhouse wouldn't be complete without a pirate flag!
(the pirate flag says: Pirates for Life)

Shawna' attended week long Girl Scout Camp.
The family drove her up to camp to drop her off and see her off.
Camp is located up above Park City.
It is beautiful!

View from the deck.

The main lodge.


The lake.

Camryn and Will at Camp Cloud Rim.

Shawna' participated in the Road Trip Camp.
The girls who went on this camp (about 10 of them) all had to agree on the trip and plan it out.
They choose to go to St. George, see some of the area attractions, hike in Zions National Park and have tons of fun, which she did!
(Let me tell you that the lodge and surrounding facilities are just beautiful. There are some cabins around there as well. Girls Scouts know how to camp!)
(I also have to note that Shawna' knew absolutley no one on this trip! She went solo and met some great girls! I am so proud of you Shawna' for being so willing to do new things on your own!)

At the end of the month we had the awards ceremony for Shawna's troop.
We held it up Mueller Park Canyon. It was pretty up there!

Connor and Will hanging out on the big rock.

Some more beautiful sunsets!


Shawna' receiving her awards.

One of the projects that the girls earned a badge for was making a scrapbook.
(I helped out with the cover page)

Well, now that June is over, what will July bring for us?
Stay tuned!
